Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 55 Call them once and see if they respond.

Luo Ning was startled awake and sat up abruptly.

Rumors have been flying around the village these past few days, with the news that she had contracted the jujube orchard spreading like wildfire, finally drawing Old Lady Xie here.

Luo Ning quickly got dressed and went out. She saw Old Lady Xie with a gloomy face, leaning on her cane in front of the door. If you put fangs on her, she would be a demon! Behind her were Zhu Cuifen and Qu Fang, as well as a group of onlookers.

Well, they timed this perfectly, taking advantage of the time when their older cousin wasn't around, to team up and cause trouble.

Luo Ning closed the door and locked it instantly—a precaution against fire, theft, and the Xie family. "Mom, what brings you here?"

"Who told you, you little whore, to lock the door? Open the door and let me in!" Old Mrs. Xie gritted her teeth in anger. The 6000 yuan had kept her up all night, and Qu Fang said that Liu Chunsheng was not at home, so she immediately braved the wind and snow to come.

It was freezing cold, and she hadn't had a bite to eat or drink; she was freezing to death.

"Mom, you got up so early and walked all this way, you must be freezing. How can I, as your daughter-in-law, not keep you company? Please tell me what's on your mind!" Luo Ning said with a smile.

Although Luo Ning clearly didn't want Grandma Xie to go in, her words were so well-chosen that even the onlookers couldn't find a single fault with them.

Moreover, while Old Lady Xie constantly referred to her as a "little whore," Luo Ning always treated her with courtesy, clearly demonstrating the difference in their social standing.

"You..." Old Mrs. Xie was so angry that she picked up her cane and smashed it at Luo Ning.

The onlookers didn't even blink, afraid of missing a single moment of the spectacle.

Luo Ning nimbly dodged to the side, perfectly avoiding the attack.

"Mom, talk to me, why are you being so rough? It's freezing cold and the ground is slippery. What if you fall and get hurt?"

This little harlot actually cursed her, and Old Lady Xie wanted to get violent again.

Qu Fang tugged at Old Lady Xie's sleeve and whispered, "Mom, let's get to the point!"

Luo Ning was skilled in martial arts, and they were no match for her at all. They quickly explained what had happened so they could get their things and go back; it was so cold outside, she was almost frozen to the bone.

Wang Tiejun suddenly opened the door and walked to Luo Ning's side to support him.

Grandma Xie snorted coldly. What kind of person is this, someone who was kicked out of the army and still has the nerve to stand in front of her, a proud military family member?

"Hand over that 6000 yuan and the recipe for jujube cake; those belong to the Xie family!"

"Tsk tsk, the enemy has it all under their control," Luo Ning glanced at Old Lady Xie.

"Call them and see if they respond. If they do, let them come with you; if not, they go back to where they came from. I'm busy!"

Wang Tiejun pressed his fist to his mouth, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

The onlookers burst into laughter.

Grandma Xie was annoyed by their laughter and turned around to glare at them fiercely.

The crowd quieted down and continued watching the spectacle. They were laughing so hard that they couldn't hear what Luo Ning and Grandma Xie were saying anymore; it was such a waste of time.

Old Mrs. Xie thought she had intimidated those peasants, and she immediately started trembling, "You little whore, hand it over right now, or I'll make you regret it!"

"Watch your mouth!" Wang Tiejun hissed, his face dark.

Grandma Xie shuddered and subconsciously took two steps back, but then, feeling embarrassed, she leaned forward again. "Luo Ning, did you hear me!"

Luo Ning gave a forced smile, "Who instigated you to come here and cause trouble this time?"

Without even thinking, she knew it was that slut Jian Yin who hadn't died of illness yet.

Old Mrs. Xie felt a little guilty and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Your Luo Jing is talking about it everywhere, the whole village knows!"

"Didn't you hear that I hit Luo Jing because she lied, and she cried at home all day?" Luo Ning glanced into the crowd and saw Zhang Wanhua. "Aunt Zhang saw it with her own eyes while she was peeking over my wall!"

Zhang Wanhua looked embarrassed, secretly cursing Luo Ning in her heart. What did she mean by "climbing over the wall"? She was just standing a little higher.

Everyone knows about Zhang Wanhua's dirty secret of climbing over the wall, and everyone also knows about Luo Jing being beaten.

Now the question is, did the contract actually exist?

Seeing that Luo Ning was about to cover up the matter, Old Lady Xie immediately shouted recklessly, "I don't care about Luo Jing, I'm just asking you for what you want, are you going to hand it over or not!"

I'll hand it over—

"What a load of rubbish!" Luo Ning sneered. "I'd have to be crazy to hand it over."

"You..." Old Mrs. Xie picked up her cane and was about to hit Luo Ning again.

Wang Tiejun grabbed her crutch and stood in front of Luo Ning, saying, "Luo Ning, you don't have what you want. Don't cause trouble here!"

"Impossible!" Old Mrs. Xie tried to pull her cane back, but she couldn't. She was so angry that she cursed Wang Tiejun's ancestors in her heart.

Wang Tiejun's gaze swept across the crowd, his expression paused slightly, and he told Grandma Xie word by word, "I've contracted the jujube orchard. Luo Ning is the technical consultant I hired. She's already sold me the recipe for jujube cake. If you don't believe me, you can ask the village chief!"

Luo Ning had already explained this matter to him, and he understood Luo Ning's predicament, so he gladly took on the responsibility.

As soon as Wang Tiejun spoke, the crowd erupted in uproar.

It turns out that Wang Tiejun has contracted the jujube orchard. He and his wife work outside all year round and it seems they have earned a lot of money. They will also go out to work after the Lunar New Year.

Luo Ning and Wang Tiejun's families became very close after the New Year, apparently because they made jujube cakes together.

But what exactly is this sour jujube cake? And why would anyone eat the sour jujubes in the village?

Grandma Xie and Zhu Cuifen were a little confused. How did things turn out like this? This business had nothing to do with Luo Ning, and they couldn't get anything out of it.

Qu Fang rolled her eyes a few times, then, with a blatant disregard for Bi Lian's dignity, said, "The recipe belongs to the Xie family; the money from selling it should go to us!"

Well, she's back again! Luo Ning thought to herself, sniffing, and immediately added Qu Fang to her blacklist.

The Xie family has a saga that never repeats itself, it's quite amusing, and everyone enjoys watching the spectacle.

"What belongs to the Xie family? Which one is from the Xie family? Show it to me!" a voice suddenly shouted from the back of the crowd.

Luo Ning's eyes crinkled into a smile; her savior had arrived!

Everyone made way, and Uncle Qi, supported by Luo Hai, stepped forward, glaring at Qu Fang with an unfriendly expression. "Second daughter-in-law of the Xie family, tell me, I've lived to be this old and I've never seen anything like this before!"

"Seventh Uncle, we were just joking around!" Qu Fang shrank back, her heart pounding, secretly cursing Seventh Uncle to a terrible death.

Uncle Qi's eyes widened, and he pointed at Qu Fang's nose and scolded her, "I think you're just talking nonsense because you're full of nothing. The sour jujube cake is not even sold by the supply and marketing cooperative, but it has become your Xie family's. Don't you have any shame? A bunch of old women who do nothing but bully Luo Ning all day long."

Don't forget, Luo Ning and her husband moved out and lived separately back then. Luo Ning's things are hers! If you want to stay in the village, then stay put. If not, get out! Qujia Village, Zhujia Gou, you can go wherever you want!

Qu Fang began to panic, secretly resenting her seventh uncle.

"That's right, Grandma Xie, don't go too far! You want what your daughter-in-law got after the land was divided up? You're out of your mind!"

Someone said something that made everyone burst into laughter.

Grandma Xie pouted, looking unwilling, and fled in panic, supported by Zhu Cuifen and Qu Fang, who were like frightened rabbits.

"Alright, that's enough, everyone disperse, there's nothing to see here!" Luo Hai waved his hand to shoo the crowd away.

Luo Ning opened the door and warmly invited Seventh Uncle to come in and sit down.

Uncle Qi waved his hand, "I won't sit down, my old woman is waiting for me to eat."

"Alright, Seventh Uncle, take care!" Luo Ning watched Seventh Uncle and Luo Hai walk away before turning his gaze away.

Seventh Uncle arrived just in time, much to Luo Ning's delight, but Wang Tiejun was in trouble.
